    The facts here are that the core mobile infrastructure, the core broadband infrastructure and the core landline infrastructure are all down.

    This doesn’t feel like a “whoops, misconfigured a route”.
    This feels like a coordinated attack against multiple (theoretically) separate systems.

      That’s a very generous and optimistic view of Optus’ processes and infrastructure dependencies. I’m unsure why you would assume they’re in any way robust, especially considering Optus’ history.
